Chapter 1356 Stationed on board for investigation!

At 4:27 pm, Han Yu finally arrived at Zhoushan Port.

The Donghai Maritime Public Security Bureau is under the jurisdiction of the Donghai Maritime Safety Bureau, but the jurisdiction of the Donghai Maritime Public Security Bureau is not only the jurisdiction of the Donghai Maritime Safety Bureau. Maritime traffic safety in the Zhejiang Sea is under the jurisdiction of the Zhejiang Maritime Safety Bureau, and the third branch of the Donghai Maritime Public Security Bureau located in Shengsi

The police station is responsible for ensuring the safety of navigation facilities in nearby waters, assisting in maritime law enforcement in the Zhejiang Sea, and is also responsible for combating illegal crimes such as hit-and-run accidents on the water and forgery of maritime documents.

If an ordinary criminal case occurs here, Han Yu does not need to personally intervene, but now that a fishing boat is gone, four crew members are dead, and three crew members are missing, he, the director, must rush over as soon as possible.

The reason why we rushed to Zhoushan Port instead of Shengsi is because the Zhoushan Maritime Safety Bureau used new technologies such as the VTS system to locate a suspicious cargo ship in the past ten hours, and the suspicious cargo ship was unloading cargo at Zhoushan Port.

The maritime department has taken measures and requested the assistance of ports, customs and border defense departments to ensure that suspicious cargo ships cannot leave the port without permission.

Han Yu pushed off the car and was greeted by Yan Suo, who had been waiting for a long time. He stood at attention and saluted.

"Old Yan, what's going on now?" Han Yu raised his hand in return and turned to look at the two foreign ships berthed at the pier.

"Reporting to the Korean Bureau, it is now confirmed that at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the Singaporean container ship 'Kotanabra' sailed through the sea area where the incident occurred, that is, the ship was unloading in front. We arrived three hours ago

Here, Bureau Qiu and Division Xu of the Maritime Safety Administration, Director Wang of the Search and Rescue Center, and Bureau Zhuang of the Fisheries Administration all boarded the ship to inspect and inquire. The captain, first mate, and second mate were all Burmese, and they claimed that they had never seen the wrecked fishing boat.

"

"Where's the crew?"

"The crew members all claimed that everything was normal on the way from Yangshan Port to here." Yan Suo raised his hand to greet the police officer at the border inspection station who was on guard duty at the pier, and continued to report: "But we found during the inspection

, there are obvious collision marks on the bow of the 'Cotanabra', and the marks are very new!"

The ship was berthed at the dock, and the captain and crew were all on board. They could not leave without permission. Even if they dared to disobey the traffic control command and forcibly leave the port, their speed would not be as fast as the law enforcement boats of the Maritime Affairs and Border Defense Coast Guard. It would be impossible to escape if they wanted to.

possible.

When he got here, Han Yu was not as anxious as before. He looked back at Lao Yang, the driver of Changhang Binjiang Branch who had just helped him take out his luggage from the trunk of the police car: "Lao Yang, have you been to Zhoushan before?"

"No, this is my first time here." Lao Yang said quickly.

"It's a rare occasion to come here and play for two days before going back. After driving for more than ten hours, you must be very tired. You can't drive while fatigued. You won't be able to go back today anyway."

"Director Han, you are busy with your business, leave me alone, I will find a hotel nearby to stay for one night."

At a glance, he knew that the old driver in front of him was an old subordinate of the director. Yan Suo said quickly: "Master Yang, you are a guest. As the saying goes, guests do as they please. When you get here, you will listen to our arrangements."

"Leader, there is no need to go to such trouble."

"Lao Yang, listen to Yan Suo. I'll be staying here tonight. Help me deliver my luggage to my place of stay."

"yes!"

Yan Suo lost no time and said: "Xiao Li, accompany Master Yang to the hotel."

"Okay, Master Yang, our car is in front. Please wait a moment while I drive."

…

After arranging colleagues from his old unit, Han Yu followed Yan Suo to an office at the dock.

The leaders of the Maritime Safety Administration and the person in charge of the search and rescue center were both there, and they had dealt with each other before. After a few brief greetings, we got to the point.

"Han Bureau, judging from the information we have now, they must have rammed and sunk the fishing boat. But they are all foreigners and refuse to admit it. Except for the obvious collision marks on the bow of the ship, we have no other conclusive evidence. For a while,

There's really nothing we can do about them now." Director Qiu frowned, worried.

"Don't say they are Burmese, they are Americans. If they break the law and commit crimes in China, they will still be punished by Chinese laws!" Han Yu took a sip of tea and continued: "A few years ago, a COSCO ship was found in Norwegian waters.

If an accident occurs, causing fuel leakage and environmental pollution, the captain will be sentenced to prison. Others have never been polite to our ships. Laws must be followed and law enforcement must be strict. There is no need for us to be polite to foreign ships."

"That being said, the key is to have evidence."

"If you don't have evidence, look for evidence. I just took a look. This container ship is quite new. It should have a 'black box'. Director Qiu, I suggest boarding the ship immediately and sealing their charts, logbooks, and shipboard navigation data recorders."

and other evidence materials. At the same time, we organized technical forces to conduct a comprehensive and detailed survey of the hull, and conducted a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the sealed navigation electronic data."

"Bureau Han, I have notified you of what you said, and the relevant personnel are on their way to the dock."

"What time can we arrive?"

Director Qiu picked up his cell phone and checked the time: "Everyone should be in place within an hour at most."

"We can't just sit and wait," Han Yu weighed it up and suggested, "How about we take a traffic boat to survey the hull before dark."

"OK."

Human life is at stake.

Now we not only need to give an explanation to our superiors, we also need to give an explanation to the relatives of the dead and missing crew members.

Bureau Qiu was under greater pressure than Han Yu. He immediately asked his entourage to find a few life jackets, and asked the staff to bring cameras, video cameras and accident investigation boxes. Together with Han Yu, they boarded the traffic boat at the pier and looked at the people who were still unloading the goods on the sea.

The "Cotanabra" launches exploration.

"Qiu Bureau, Han Bureau, there are obvious scratch marks on both sides of the bow!"

"Master, can you come closer?"

"Yes." The pilot responded and drove the traffic boat carefully to the bow of the ship.

Han Yu stood at the bow of the boat, put on gloves, touched the area with obvious scratch marks, and analyzed: "This is not an ordinary scratch mark, it is caused by a collision."

Director Qiu hadn't just met Han Yu today. He had known that Han Yu was an expert and immediately ordered: "Xiao Chen, take pictures!"

"yes!"

"There is paint attached to the impact mark! Lao Yan, do you have an evidence bag?"

"Did not bring."

"Bureau Han, I have a plastic convenience bag here."

"It's okay to have a convenience bag." Han Yu turned around and took the convenience bag handed over by the maritime law enforcement officer. He carefully removed the paint attached to the collision mark on the outer ship's bow and put it into the convenience bag. Then he turned back and said, "Director Qiu, please excuse me.

Arrange people to seize the time to investigate whether the wrecked fishing boat has been embalmed recently. If so, be sure to find out where it was done and what kind of paint was used."

??????55.??????

"No problem, Xiao Chen, I'll leave this job to you."

"yes!"

Yan Suo reacted, looked at the faintly visible blue spots on the impact marks, and said excitedly: "Han Bureau, I asked the fishery administration department that the wrecked fishing boat was painted blue."

"There are many ships painted in blue. We cannot assume that they have been involved in a collision just because they have the same color. What we need is evidence, an inspection report issued by the forensic appraisal department."

"clear."

"You should take pictures of everything that needs to be taken. If you haven't taken pictures, hurry up and take pictures. After taking pictures, we will get on the boat and talk to the captain."

"OK!"

…

The captain of the "Cotanabra" could clearly see every move of the Chinese port officials on the sea on the deck. He whispered a few words to the first mate and second mate, and the first mate and second mate hurriedly separated to find the other officers.

crew.

We boarded the ship to investigate in the afternoon and they denied that a collision had occurred.

Han Yu knew very well that he couldn't do what Qiu Bureau and the others did in the afternoon. He had to put enough pressure on the other side. Only by putting enough pressure on the other side would the other side get into trouble and expose their flaws.

After everyone landed, they were in no hurry to board the ship.

We first held a small meeting at the dock to study the plan for boarding and inspection. Then we said hello to the officers and soldiers at the border inspection station who were on duty at the dock, and boarded the container ship along the spiral staircase.

Director Qiu's English was not very good, so he asked Han Yu to speak to the captain on behalf of Maritime Affairs.

Han Yu straightened his police uniform and raised his hands in salute, then showed his ID and said very seriously: "Mr. Captain, please allow me to introduce you. This is Mr. Qiu Fangyun, deputy director of Zhoushan Maritime Safety Administration of the People's Republic of China. I am Donghai of the People's Republic of China."

Han Yu, Director of the Maritime Public Security Bureau, we have reason to suspect that your ship collided with a Chinese fishing vessel in Chinese waters at around 15:00 yesterday afternoon. According to the relevant laws and regulations of China, we will station the ship to conduct an investigation. Please cooperate with us, Mr. Captain!"

"Stand on board, Mr. Director, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Our intention is very clear. From now on, Director Qiu and I will lead the investigation team to your ship! The loading and unloading operations are suspended. Except for the crew members on duty, the rest of the personnel will immediately return to their respective crew cabins to wait for the investigation team's questioning. No one is allowed to do so without permission.

Communication equipment such as mobile phones, walkie-talkies and satellite phones are all left to our custody."

"Mr. Director, you have no right to do this."

"This is China." Han Yu stared at him closely and reminded: "You can report to your shipowner, contact the shipping agent, hire a lawyer, or even contact the embassy or consulate of the shipowner's country and your government in China.

.”

"Please allow me to contact the ship owner."

"No problem. Is there a satellite phone?"

"have."

"Where?"

"bridge."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Loading and unloading operations are stopped immediately. Except for the crew on duty, all other personnel hand in their mobile phones and return to their respective cabins. The second mate and sailor on duty on the bridge, as well as the crew on duty on the deck, are assigned maritime law enforcement officers or maritime police officers.
